    I was there, arriving on 10 August 1990. We were there for months, flying patrols, preparing, watching, training, waiting, and growing. That day, when the air war began, I was up at 0345 preparing for our flight. We were airborne and over bad guy territory less than 90 minutes later. I was young, just 27, but most of my fellow Marines, especially the enlisted ones, were 18-21 yrs old. They were eager to fight, not knowing what that meant. The old guys who had been to 'Nam, knew it wasn't something to wish for, rather, something you just did when ordered to. I'll never forget learning from those old salts, and it would be just over a decade later when I would be the old salt, helping our new guys learn how to fight the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq. Time flies.... That is the only constant in all this.

    Thanks for your service brother. I get it, I enlisted in 79 and learned from those same old salts you mentioned from DI’s to team members through my first 13 years. After getting out to start a family in 92 I returned in 07 to do another 14+ until retirement in 2019. I was that “old salt!” I expected to be called Grampa and SGT Oldie and all of that but was pleasantly surprised that the troops were hungry for knowledge so that was my focus my last tour. I downloaded everything I could into these fine young soldiers and watched as they grew into outstanding NCO’s themselves. It was well worth my time, even during my last deployment. I’d do it all over again if I could or if by chance I get the call someday. Peace to you my brother in arms and all other veterans… 🫡

    Great comment I wish it had been longer,but not too long. I think a novel might be perhaps long enough. My father was a vet what liked to be in thick of things. Which means he didn't talk about it much. Always an indicator that somebody got in his face and he cut it off. I understand he went into kill zones with a custom blade. All metal with a hole in the handle for leverage and so it couldn't be knocked out his hand. A semiauto pistol. The rifle was hung over his shoulder just in case. He said he didn't like using it. " I the chink enemy was wórth killing, the least you could do is kill hill him since with those black PJ's he was dressed for sleep anyway. He was promoted I think just to keep him from eviscerating the V+,cong. When a truce was negotiated he was quietly furious. Angry even. About 10 years after he rotated out of the marines. When all the insurance and benefits were certain, he took his life with his sidearm at the VA. They said it was PTSD. I don't know. but I still profoundly miss him and the stories, though I still have à lot of pictures in the basement where he spent a lot of time. A good husband, mother was inconsolable. I respect all vets from all branches, but especially my brothers in Father those vicious kill them don't leave him injured lying there. Marines tough sum' bitches. Had the enemy afraid if backed in they'd rush towards them with everything thing they had. Stout Fellows all. Very proud of my fathet I am

    To be fair to him, the Japanese really couldn't have helped, especially back in early 90s. Not just their pacifist constitution, but also the sheer logistical *uber-fuffle* that would be moving men and materiel from Japan to the Middle East, as well as trying to integrate Japanese and other coalition forces effectively. It would have been waaay more hassle than it was worth, (if it was even possible in the first place)........ Although, to be fair, there's no way I could communicate all of that to a Japanese taxi driver....🤣😂

    I did my 4 year hitch in the USN onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt from 1986 to 1990. I joined her one month after she was commissioned and I left her just before Desert Storm started. It was Desert Shield when I got out. But I was still there in my heart. Many of my friends were there aboard the TR and I was following every move that we made. I was glued to CNN. Nice job breaking this video down into chapters. I know that's a shit ton of work. Most would just upload it and be finished. That's worth a like and sub.

I was stationed at Barksdale AFB and well remember scrambling our 7 B-52's and their 10,000-mile, non-stop round-trip sorties. I was an alert force controller, so was well aware of when our crews were scrambled/returned.

    I retired from the Navy in December 1989, a few months later this war kicked off. I remember complaining to my father-in-law that after 20 years of preparing to fight a war, we finally get into one just after I retire from the service. I felt so unused! That's how life goes. I was over 40 and the armed services want you out of there by then. You're aging and starting to lose abilities. It's time for you to go. I understood that, but it was hard to take.

    The naval commanders of the sub feet not being able to play war was " Not to their liking, " this Captain said. How do you think we felt fixing the fighter group aircraft, refueling aircraft, cargo aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, just about anything with wings that flew in that war, but removed even further, not the ones on the front lines like you saw in the beginning, you know the guys with their fist in the air seeing their comrades off to fight. We were stuck on a small island out in the middle of the Atlantic fixing the broken ones on their way. Gassing up others, making sure troops got off to be feed and back on to go fight, putting out fires from hot brakes, servicing needed repairs at all hours of the morning and all conditions on every jet going that way, things like, water, oil, gas, minor/major repairs, new tires, you name it, etc. We went from not one aircraft stationed on that rock to over 280 at one time with a maintenance group of 38, and Eastern Comand never sent help after our base commander asked many times. As far as I'm concerned we all, from the jets that dropped the bombs to the ones that pushed a pencil were all important during this war. We were all needed and we all were just as important as the bomb droppers...for me it has to be, and it also has to be important to those in a sub protecting the other ships, because that war injured me for life and even killed me. After a medical discharge for blowing out my back. Working hours on end with no days off for almost half the war my body just didn't make. I got so tired and my body so used up all it took was a sneeze while holding a refuel line and pop the war was over for me, I was told the sound of the pop could be herd 30 feet away. It sent shards of disks pieces into my static nerve, I never recovered after being MedEvac back to the states the war lasted how long a couple years I've been in horrific pain for 34 years, later a pain pump was planted in my spine, at the age of 29 I would never be able to hold down a job even after achieving my masters degree. But some how I had to support a wife and three girls as far as loosing my life. I was diagnosed in 2014 with cancer from chemical exposure during that war. I sit on the edge of my bed now, old and fighting a different kind of war, but one thing I know sooner or later I'll lose that war. So when I here anyone even captain's on submarines lower there part in this war I get a little upset. There's too many out there that are injured and weren't even at the front line, the forgotten ones, but the job they did was needed that's why we're are called a team !

    Amazing video, thank you for the post. 1989-1993 I was just a kid, serving as an Army infantryman with the 25th ID in Hawaii. My buddies and I watched the coverage of the Gulf War constantly on the nightly news, wondering if we were going to get our turn to deploy. Though we were packed on pallets and ready to fly, we never got the call. We were a light infantry division and this was a mechanized war. Maybe if Bush had gone into Baghdad like 43 did, we'd have deployed but we didn't. At that time, and today, I felt such pride for the men and women who answered the call, the world was a very different place back then...

I guess the pills would do the same for cavalry if they knew that they had long push’s and needed to stay alert and then needed to get the most rest possible on the other hand once it was time. The only problem with these “medications” is the body develops a dependency on them and they become counterproductive.

    The Warthog is all 0300's favorite plane. I'm an 0351. I love how they have information on the glass written in grease pencil. Nothing has ever come close to a Warthog in close air support. C-130 Spooky and the Cobra's are nice...But that gun scares everyone off.

    I had just left the Navy when Desert Shield commenced. Needless to say, I was watching very closely and Praying for my brothers and sisters so that they could come home. I remember the news media making such a fuss over Iraq's war making capability. In reality, most of their equipment was at least 20 years behind what we had. Yes, the Iraqi air defense was potent but not after visits by our Ravens and the EA-6. You can't shoot what you can't see. I think what was most impressive was the number of countries who made up the coalition and that Bush stuck to the UN Resolution. Hindsight is always 20/20 but our mission was to eject Saddam from Kuwait and that is exactly what happened. Now for my Air Force friends; the A-10 was DEVASTATING. There is no way in hell that I could possibly imagine what it must've been like to be an Iraqi conscript, sitting in a T55, hull down in the desert with Hawg drivers overhead. God that must be scary. And the Apaches; don't want to leave out our Army birds.

    I remember vividly watching the news, my father and most of my friends fathers(and some mothers) went over there. We were a marine corps family. So proud of them and always will be. The sad thing was the way they were discarded and disassembled when they returned. They called it military downsizing. We called it political posturing.

    Incorrect the first shots of the air war was fired by Col Cody of the 101st aviation BN AH-64 Apaches grouped with 2 blackhawks and 2 CH-53 Sea Stallions! They took out the radar sites on the border on land to create a 20 mile wide corridor of clear airspace, then the Navy and Air Force aircraft went in. I was there at King Fahd Airport with the 101st Airborne Eagle Dustoff when the Aircraft took off. Woke me up in fact!
